No wonder: ALEXIS SANCHEZ FACTS Growing up in this country, true poverty is hard to fathom for the vast majority, but it is no exaggeration at all to say that Alexis Sanchez’s story truly is a rags to riches tale. Raised by his mother in the mining town of Tocopilla, times were hard and money was extremely short, with young Alexis having to do anything he could to help his family survive. His mother’s cleaner salary was not enough, so he washed cars and became a street performer to raise the money so that he could eat. Now famous for his lightning quick feet on the football field, the youngster used to show his boxing skills and perform acrobatics on the street, with his trademark high energy resulting in some locals calling him ‘the Squirrel’. It’s hard to think of a more meteoric rise in sport.
